I never had that love that I could just give away until I got sober, and then I had all this love that I could give, and I didn't know where to put it. So, I got a dog and started fostering, and it just took off from there.
Imagine having to leave your beloved pet behind while you head into rehab. It’s a heart-wrenching thought, but this episode of 'This Pink Cloud' offers a beacon of hope. DJ Kelly Reverb teams up with Dusty Burrows LPC LCDC to chat with Cassie Braun and Stephen Knight, the founder of Dogs Matter, about an innovative solution: pet fostering for those in recovery.
Cassie opens up about her own journey, shedding light on how the love and companionship of her 'fur baby' played a pivotal role in her sobriety. The conversation isn’t just about cute pets, though. It dives deep into the importance of community support, self-love, and finding diverse pathways to recovery. You'll hear about the challenges of animal abandonment and the critical need for a safe, inclusive online recovery community.
With the pandemic still affecting lives, they also touch on how COVID-19 has impacted addiction and recovery. This episode is a heartfelt discussion that underscores the power of love—both from our pets and our community—in the battle against addiction.
